The camp site we have chosen is great, only 400 metres from the sea and less to the hub of the town. Cavalaire sur Mer has a huge marina with not many empty berths.
This weekend Cavalaire was the host to the Jet Ski Formula 1 Grand Prix It was quite impressive to see a start of some 50 high powered jet skis roar off. 
The downside of all this was that they closed the beach where we used to go for a dip and sunbathe, but there are lots of other lovely spots and the camp site has a lovely pool. 
The scenery along this part of the coast is beautiful. We found this spot on one of our wanderings and planned to go back to have a picnic there but somehow that never materialised. 
Although Cavalaire is quite expensive, the camp site fees were very reasonable and we were pleasantly surprised to find that they offered free Wi Fi and we nicknamed this spot 'Silver Surfer's City'. 
On Saturday night we went down to the marina as we had seen posters saying there was an open air concert (free). It was a young French singer and her band and she was very good. Not wanting to seem out of touch with the pop world Harry said she was the French version of Lily Allen (not sure he knows who she is either) but with his flowing long locks he certainly looks the part of the aging rocker!
We are moving on again tomorrow near Toulon where, just by coincidence Johnny Wilkinson now plays his rugby. I wonder why this location has been chosen! Harry is hoping there will be a home match on Saturday.
So until next week bye from us both xxx
PS We can confirm that it does rain in the south of France!
